In Harsha's artwork "Gazing Agrarians," the predominant color is red. The painting depicts farmers at work, some planting while others lead cattle harnessed to a plow. They are looking upwards. Above them are different animals, such as a zebra, a tiger, a deer, an elephant, and a rhinoceros. There are also carnival triangle ribbons and a magical light.
N. S. Harsha is an Indian contemporary artist renowned for his artistic prowess in paintings, site-specific installations, and sculptures that skillfully traverse the complexities arising from the interplay between the local and global, the traditional and contemporary, and the individual and collective realms.
N. S. Harsha draws inspiration from a diverse range of Indian painting traditions, popular arts, and the Western canon to create thought-provoking and luminous artworks. His creations possess a quiet philosophical quality, inviting contemplation on geopolitical dynamics and our increasingly technology-driven connection with the world.
Through meticulously crafted paintings, works on paper, sculptures, site-specific installations, and public projects, the artist explores the intricate nature of structures, borders, and barriers. These elements are portrayed as fluid and ever-evolving concepts, suggesting an interconnectedness that urges viewers to reflect on their relationship with the artwork as part of a larger discourse surrounding systems of knowledge, belief, and power.
